A Trail Town is a destination along a long-distance trail or adjacent to an extensive trail system. Whether the trail is a hiking trail, water trail or rail trail, users can venture from the path to explore the unique scenery, commerce and heritage that each trail town has to offer. The Redbank Valley Trail runs through the heart of New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and several surrounding communities in the Redbank Valley area.

Redbank Renaissance is a local 501(c)(3) non-profit that fosters numerous economic revitalization efforts for the Redbank Valley community – one of those efforts is working alongside the Redbank Valley Trails Association to develop the Redbank Valley area and New Bethlehem as a Trail Town.
